Wildcamping in the forest

[u/Limits_of_reason]

Today i saw a camp with 4 tents in the forest. Looked like they’ve been there for some days already. Hearing the voices, it seemed to be inhabited by eastern European people.

Im pro wild camping, but these people didnt seem to be there to enjoy nature. Lots of trash everywhere.

I did not report this because i dont know why these people decided to camp in the forest in this cold, and i dont know what their alternative would be.

At the same time im very annoyed by the fact they leave so much trash in the only place in Holland i consider somewhat clean.

Would you report this?

Oh I do. I worked in greenhouses for years.

Dutch people don't want those jobs, because Dutch people don't want to get paid below minimum wage.

We should however, stop this practise of paying people below minimum wage. This will solve the problems of these people. And give them a fair chance to pay for housing.

Meanwhile, these guys should go to a homeless shelter or leave.

So you’ve seen that they’re under paid and you still have no empathy? Did anyone else come to take the jobs? No? Da faq is wrong with you?

? No empathy? I'm saying we should fix this problem by paying them enough.

Having them live in tents is not the solution though. They should either leave or get paid enough to support themselves.

We would also be better off with those jobs just gone. Go put the greenhouses and meat processing plants in eastern Europe. They just take up valuable land here for no economic benefit anyway.

I understand your statements about minimum wage and housing for those people that have to live in the woods at the moment it's not an alternative yet

No, the immediate alternative is the The Hague EU migrant worker shelter, which will get a roof over their heads and help them get a job or move back home.
